Civil Court Dismisses State’s Case to Enforce US$3.4 Million Fine on Ex-President Yameen

The Civil Court dismissed the state's civil suit seeking to enforce the US$3.4 million money-laundering fine imposed on former President Abdulla Yameen, ruling it could not enforce the order because the High Court had granted a stay of execution pending his appeal. The Criminal Court had convicted Yameen on 25 December 2022 and given him six months to pay the fine, a deadline that expired in June without payment.
